JUlY 2011 - Maple Cross Deep Sea Anglers club headed by Terry Crilly joined Flamer IV for a wrecking trip for cod and pollack.After a team talk and making sure they had all the correct tackle prepared we set off.Just over 2 hours later we arrived at the chosen wreck which had fished really well the day before.Well the fishing was slow to start with with a few small cod and pollack being landed.I told the lads to stick at it and as it did the day before as the tide eased up the big cod began to feed.Dan Gomm landed the first and biggest cod of the day which weighed 22Ib 8oz.Dan is pictured with his personal best cod catch.Then Billy Birchell and Kevin Pyle joined in with 18 pounders.Dan Gomm was at it again with a 14Ib cod.The other Members also caught cod along with some pollack. But poor old Terry only caught two pollack despite all his efforts(better luck next time Terry).All the fish were caught on mainly rhubarb and custard or blue sidewinder lures.The lads really enjoyed their trip and have already booked a few for 2012.

Report on-board Supanova II
Hi All,
The fishing continues to be great from Weymouth with yesterdays trip proving it!
A total of 17 species were landed including plaice to 6lb 12oz and bass to 9lb's.
Away from the species fishing the banks seem to be throwing up good numbers of Turbot still with a group last week managing to boat 20 over their 3 day trip with just 7 being kept for the table, very responsible angling indeed.
The mussel beds still throw up the odd plaice of a better stamp than in previous months. The bream have arrived off of portland along with the bass in ever increasing numbers.
The mid channel wrecking for the Cod and Pollack is still proving frantic with the quality of fish mind blowing!
The next month will see the Weymouth fleet begin to concentrate their efforts on the Bream and Bass more.
Thanks again to all for their continued support to the port!!
Fish of this month must go to Pete Avery for his 25lb Thresher shark landed on Turbot gear last week! View Boats Page

Report on-board Predator
With a brief break in the windy weather the lads from Thames Valley Police enjoyed a day on the bream. An early start saw us head off to a small reef at a steady 19 knots. With tea in hands the lads were full of anticipation at catching their first bream of the season.
A quick couple of drifts for mackerel and we had enough bait for the day. With anchor dropped the boat settled in the tide and tell tale rattle of the rod tips meant we were in the right place. With bream coming in steady it was nice to see the lads putting all females back with only a couple of male fish being taken for the table for each person. Pictured here is David with the biggest bream of the day, a fine 3lb male fish. View Boats Page

Report on-board Silver Spray II
Since the middle of May we have been busy with reef fishing in Poole bay, Alderney trips and the start of the bassing.
The reef fishing has produced good numbers of bream with 3lb fish not uncommon and fish averaging 2lbs. As well as the bream we have enjoyed a good selection of other fish with 10 species a day not uncommon. We have had 4 species of ray with blondes to 24lb, undulates to 14lb, smalled eyed rays to 12lb and a few spotted rays as well. There have been some nice plaice and we also caught our first dover sole on Silver Spray. This fish was caught as part of the Hudson Green Challenge which is a charity species hunt. On that day the tope boat San Gina 2 from Swanage skipper by Tom Greasty caught 16 species while Silver Spray was joint second with 11 species. Best specimen was a fine 18lb undulate caught on Crimson tide. The challenge raised more than £1000 for charity.
On our latest Alderney trip we were pleased to have Andy Ford from Sky TVs tightlines programme on board together with a camera crew. We were certainly hoping that the presence of the cameras weren’t going to put a curse on the fishing or the weather. Day 1 was a bumpy crossing with a fresh SW wind. Plenty of nice pollack on the wrecks around the hurd deep with live mackerel taking the better fish. Day 2 saw an increase in wind and tough fishing conditions. Fish of the day was a 17.5lb turbot caught by Gerry Reed. Day 3 and with improving conditions the quantity of flatfish increased. A nice 5lb brill for Mark Edwards who also caught 6 turbot as well! Friday and the wind has dropped away. We are off for some codding on the way home. The cod got bigger as the day went on. a 22lber for James Craft was topped with a 25lber for Mark Edwards who then followed this up with a 32lber which is a new boat record. The Alderney film will be made into 4 separate features and should be broadcast on Sky Sports Tight Lines from the beginning of July.
The bass season has just started with our first trip on the offshore banks providing excellent sport on live mackerel baits. There were plenty of bass to 7lb and a dozen congers to50lb on a nearby wreck over slack.
As I’m writing this the rain is pouring and the wind is howling. It’s more like February than June. I hope that we can get out to sea again soon as the fishing both inshore and further off is really good at present.
